I gave my hand for you to hold
I gave my love that you went and sold
Exchanged our song for another
Can't blame this sad flame that once glowed like no other
How do you soften
The thought of carrying coffins?
We were so alive
Only to see us wither and die
You say you'd stand even if this would all fall
You're yearning, yielded when you hit the wall
I shut your ears, tried to make you hear my call
But you were long gone, no hope in a sunless dawn
How do you soften
The thought of carrying coffins?
We were so alive
Only to see us wither and die
Oh, why
must soil run dry
And I never ever thought I'd hear these words be said
Now I lay here in an unmade bed
Empty stomach's unable to be fed
Your ego swallowed you and from there you fled
So far away
Could not find your way back
Walked down the path
Where feet slipped through the cracks
Where feet slipped through the cracks
Could not find your way back
Where feet slipped through the cracks
Could not find your way back
How do you soften
The thought of carrying coffins?
We were so alive
Only to see us wither and die
Oh, why
must soil run dry
